The Sunday Post!


Hello! Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there! Today I will be doing the weekly meme of The Sunday Post hosted by caffeinatedbookreviewer. Our purpose is to update our readers with what is going on both on and off the blog.


Life

I was incredibly busy with Peter Pan Jr this week. Between tech week and the opening weekend, I had limited time. Opening weekend went well, and I was so happy for the kids. The students did so well and I was amazed at how well things came together. I didn't do much else this week, relaxed when I came home and before I went to the rehearsals. Today we went to brunch with my mom for mother's day and it was fantastic she loved it.

Books

I might have been busy, but I found time to read and made some progress with books.

Physical Books

Rich People Problems by Kevin Kwan - 219/541. Honestly, this book might be favorite of this trilogy. There might not be as much drama as the first two, but I am here for the slow burn drama we have going on. I love these characters and will be sad when I finish this book.

Romanov by Nadine Brandes - 122/352. This is a new release that has not been out for a full week yet, but I am flying through this one! I am buddy reading this with a friend but she is behind from me. I am reading two chapters a day so that I can count it towards a reading event in a Goodreads group. If you love Anastasia read this! The novel is a Historical Fiction with a touch of magic and I love it so much!

Ebooks

The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang- 63/288. This is a buddy read with a team meet in the reading event I mentioned above. I just started it today, and it is so cute!!! I love the art and I love the story.

Sky Without Stars by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell - 65% done. I plan to finish this soon I only read it once last week because of lack of time, and other books taking priority. Now that I have two hours plus a day to read, I plan on reading this more. I love this story and I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston - 72% done. See above. This  story is a gem and I will read it for years to come! I feel this story is timely and a look at the life of con and the life of a fan. There was a moment in this book where I wanted to toss it across the room with rage, but I didn't want to break my iPad. It wasn't that I was upset that the author had written the scene; I was just upset that the scene happened to the character.




This week on the blog

This week I will be joining Bout of Books 25! I did the last one, and I won some custom book marks. The aim is to just read, and there are challenges for both Instagram and twitter or bloggers each day. For more information click here.  I don't have as much going on this week so this read a thon was perfect timing!

    I’m glad everything came together. I’m curious about Romanov, but I’m waiting to see more reviews before I commit to buying it. Have a great week!

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday- Book characters linked to Halloween candy!!

Welcome Back! I know I’ve been saying that I will be back and blogging more. Life happened last week, I had an appointment last week, and I just got lazy after that. I’m planning to be back more this week and get posting again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl .  This was born out of a love of lists and bringing the bookish community together. This week is a Halloween Freebie. I’m not into the horror or mystery genres. I wanted to do my top 8 Halloween candies and pick a character that reminds me of them. 1- Chocolate Rhys from A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas because he is smooth. This was a no brainier for me. Rhys is smooth, and he always knows what to say. He is charming and flirtatious so he was reminds me of chocolate no question. 2- Reese’s cups Claudia from Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills because she is sweet but has the determination to get what she wants. I read this book ...
